The Comfort Of New Orleans: Jambalaya @ The Jam Tree

For a slice of Louisiana in London, The Jam Tree is hosting Jambalaya, a pop-up that brings the comforting cuisine, and seriously southern cocktails, of New Orleans to both Chelsea and Clapham.

There’ll be jazz, drinks with a twist and, of course, heaps of jambalaya. Executive Chef James Browne has returned from his travels in the southern states (not that we’re jealous, or anything) and is serving up three variations of the traditional Creole dish, large enough for 2-4 people, or groups of 8-10 if you’re up for recreating the party time feel of America’s most celebration-prone city. Other offerings include baby back ribs, fried chicken and Muffuletta, for the veggies.

It has a limited run, from Tuesday 16 April to Sunday 28 April, so there’s still time to sample some deep fried soft-shell crab and maybe have a tipple or two*.
